World Rally Champion Petter Solberg has confirmed he will contest every round of this year’s FIA European Rallycross (RX) Championship.

Solberg announced earlier this month that he would compete at the first round of the RX Championship in Britain next month, but the Norwegian superstar is now set on the title in his Citroen DS3 Supercar.

“I don’t do things by half,” said Solberg, who won the 2003 World Rally Championship. “When I thought about it, I knew the RX Championship was the one for me. It’s going to be one hell of a show this season and I want my team to be part of that.”

Solberg’s 600 hp Citroën DS3 Supercar is currently being built in preparation for the first round at Lydden Hill in Great Britain on March 31.

“The car is really coming together and, to be honest, I really can’t wait to get behind the wheel, added Solberg. “Having spent the last 15 years driving with 300 hp, having twice that power is something that really makes me smile. The competition is going to be really tough this year, but that’s one of the things which makes me want to compete here.”
